How to ride like you're stupid... but somehow survive

Really we have we all survived doing stupid ***** when we were young. My kids can't believe what I did at their age and survived!

I would say there was more than stupidity involved, the word I would choose describe them would have Joe hit the delete key on my post.
 
He went for a gap to the inside of the red car that was already closing before the film starts. He was trying to squeeze through the gap on tarmac - between the front of the red car and what looked like the rear of a vehicle parked at the side of the road. Hence the mirror collision. Thats when the cyclists came into view. He missed the cyclists.

That was an accident that started long before the video started. Some might say when he got on the bike. No not me.
 
The driver of the red car that lost its mirror looks like they took off thinking, ‘well, you’ve suffered enough by your own stupid decisions…I’m outta here’

OR

In the last second or 2, the biker did ‘the forbidden dance’ when he left the bike.

He hit bicyclists? What happened to them?

Good question. My guess is the bicyclist didn't get up. His left elbow would've hit the bicyclist either in the kidney, ribs or arm. At that speed, I would think the bicyclist would have either a ruptured kidney, or broken ribs and arm.

But with the way things are viewed today, I'm sure it was the bicyclist's fault for not providing enough room for the motorcyclist.

No he missed. The frame before this one, his elbow was out but was still clear of the cyclist (just). The back wheel is already sliding out at this point.

When the camera is bouncing around there is just one frame, upside down, with the cyclist in the red shirt, still on his bike.

But that was as close as it gets.

That motorcyclist deserves every bit of hurt and damage to his bike he can get. Actually, more.

With luck, he hasn't contributed to the gene pool.

Trust me, it's no fun being the cyclist with a-holes on motos "racing" the twisties like this. Drivers too. I've been nearly taken out more than once.
 
I was hit on a pedal machine twice by cars... on flipping STRAIGHT roads!
Before cell phones, even.
(Don't even go there -- my front tire each time, was on the 4in plaited white line at the shoulder of the road.)
 
Oh, YES. I have done some STUPID stuff, not like that. Nice of his "friends" to stop and check on him and his victims. Who was recording this? Did he have a long selfie stick?
I was riding with a rider who rode crazy in traffic with others riding hard to keep up. As tail end charley I left them to themselves, It turned out to be a nicer ride alone
